Thanksgiving,,,and what it means to me by ...

That seemed like a clever title, but I'm not sure how much I will actually get to write. I have to admit, I'm exhausted.

Here are just some of the many things I am thankful for this Thanksgiving.
1) My boys...all of them. The one I married and the ones we had together. They make me happy on so many levels.
2) Family, all of them, blood and in-laws....I have a great bunch of both. I saw most of my immediate family on Wednesday and then my in-laws from Thursday thru Sunday. I enjoyed all the time I was able to spend with all of them.
3) Children - mine and others. They make things so light and fun. They sing and play and make you forgot the mean or sad stuff.
4) My husband - it takes losing someone to make you realize what you have. I didn't lose him in the grand sense (I don't even what to think about that prospect) but I lost him in a smaller sense. He is SICK. Sicker than I think I have ever seem him. So I missed all his help in everything we do coming home from our Thanksgiving adventure to see Gammy.
5) Bedtimes - I am thankful for my children...I love them dearly, but after a day like today, I am truly thanksful for bedtime. They are all tucked away. One is fast asleep, while the older one sings and I'm sure he will be asleep soon.

An update on Gammy. She is doing better. We were told she looks much better than she did. She enjoyed seeing everyone this Thanksgiving. And she gave all her great grandchildren, cute little toy turkeys that gooble.
